October Newsletter
Principal Update
I am impressed everyday with how excited students are to be back at school. Teachers are working on incorporating more engagement strategies into their CKLA lessons as the lessons are a lot of direct instruction and teacher talk.
Students are finishing up the first quarter of school on Oct 15th. Reports cards will be going home on Oct 20th in Tuesday Folders.
Conferences will be held Oct 12-16. Classroom teachers sent home slips in Tuesday folders, however, with the school going to Tier 4 on Tuesday 10/6 those slips couldn't be returned the following day. Your child's teacher has been communicating with you parents via e-mail to confirm conferences. Please check your e-mail to confirm conferences with your classroom teacher.
I have enjoyed getting to know many of the families and students over the course of the start of the year. I want to remind you that I have an open door policy and welcome you to stop in and talk with me. I look forward to a wonderful 2nd quarter of learning.

As a school/district we have been communicating with the school messenger system with important updates and messages this school year. This call will school up as a call from Hot Springs School. If you receive this call please answer or listen to the message. If you are not receiving these calls, please call the school to update your phone number.
New Units in CKLA/WIN (What I need) Time
Teachers also started WIN (What I need) time, this part of the day provides every student with targeted skill practice in the area of reading. Teacher's will also begin WIN in Math on fact fluency, beginning the second quarter to help our students know their basic math facts.

Attendance
More to come on how attendance will work with Tier 4 (remote learning) if we ever have to do it for longer than the 2 days.
Reminder that when you check out your child for appointments, please don't forget to sign them out in the office, as this helps us know when and if they returned for the day. Thank you.
